Clever Handyman Inventions

Some very clever ideas, some more trouble than buying a ready made product.

A nice range of "that's useful", to "maybe in a pinch", to "why on earth?". Mostly the last.

funk FPV needs to review these

If I saw somebody on my crew trying to use half these tricks, I would fire them. Most of these are pointless.

What's the point of the first one? The second one, can save time, money, and materials and just buy a pin remover, or use a screwdriver as many have done before. Then even further on it, just buy a paint mixer. Third one, cool, you put a cross cut in a section of bolt to screw it into some soft wood... that does nothing but have a chunk of metal in the middle of a piece of soft wood. Fourth one, yay! You bolted some white to some soft wood so that you have some wire bolted to some soft wood to yank on. Here's a "hack," tie some string to the head of a broom so you have some string tied to the head of a broom to yank on. And on, and on, and on, and... use a plastic bottle on your indoor faucet to fill the bucket? Yeah, having a bottle with water inside left hanging on your faucet is much more practical than buying a faucet that has a nozzle on a hose, screwing a hose to your faucet if you don't have that but have a threaded faucet, or, you know, using an outdoor faucet, your shower head, or your bath faucet. 'Here, law nails on a board, burn the board, and you fixed the problem with your AC unit!' What is that "hack" even supposed to be used for? The nail through cardboard, for people that lack the mental capacity to hold a nail. Just just using an angle grinder to turn a wrench into a limited range cat paw for people too stupid to use the claws on their hammer or cat paw.

Lucky you. Make shift tools are strictly verboten in the shops where I’ve worked.

The thing with the wrench. I would probably just use my hammer. It already has this thing on the other end for pulling out nails. Try it. It works even better than destroying a perfectly good wrench.

Some of these are like "do you want to do this? Just do the first thing that comes to mind" as expected

there are more than a few of these that are down right clever. Then there are some that.... The tools used to make the "Handyman Invention" cost more than the invention itself, and if you have the tool to make it, you should already have at least 2 of the tool you're trying to replace. (or in the case of the wire strippers, a knife already in your pocket)

My take away from this video is: You don't always have to hammer the nail into a board. You can also hammer the board onto a nail!

🙄😳 jamás entenderé ese afán de algunos hombres de echar a perder algo útil para arreglar otra cosa

Пир новаторства и наставничества! Накрыть банку с краской пищевой плёнкой - вот мой фаворит на премию "Фейспалм" в номинации "Сантехник Афоня втирает молодым за культуру производства". :)))

Ok SOME of these are actually pretty smart

Terima kasih, semakin menambah wawasan👍👍👍

О, сколько нам открытий чудных готовит интернета дух... И Ютюба иже с ним... Не перестаю восхищаться полётом фантазии мастеров-фломастеров! Хотя, конечно, некоторые идеи очень даже ничего. Например, как на банку с краской напялить обрезанную бутылку.

Yes, you can make do with the wrong fastener or tool, but it is always better to have the best tool for the job. I never regret getting the proper tool.

Вот не понял ваще, зачем болт без шляпы было в бревно тасовать, и и на деревяке гвозди палить,

For once one of these “shop hacks” videos had a couple hacks that at least gave me an idea for something related…

Everything on here they make an actual inexpencive tool for that job that will work better than what you made!

Do you know that there are ready made bits of steel with threads and screwdriver slots? I think they call them screws.
